Hi everyone, I used myvegas for the first time 3 month ago and I had enough points to cover a few comps.
On last week we redeem two with a friend here's my review :

Caviar @ Petrossian Bellagio.
The place is conveniently located in the Lobby, we went there around 7PM, perfect time for a nice appetizer !
We took a seat inside, the piano was playing classic hits like "my heart will go on" from Celine, not my favorite type of music, but it fit the place very well. I was a bit disappointed by the place, clean and nice but all fake, nothing's real not even the furniture: lights, tables. Everything is nice, but come on you can do better than an brand new "old lamp" in this place.
3rd friend took a nice cocktail, clearly a good call, nicely done and fresh. They bring a plate of appetizers, also very nice with a cool twist like almond with spices.
I took the Vodka/Caviar combo and my 2nd friend took the glass of Veuve Cliquot Champagne. Note that 3 glasses of Vodka is WAayyyyy too much for one person, it lead to unexpected loss of $$ later at the poker table [/sidenote].
The Caviar is perfectly served in cream, with eggs, onions and blinis. They also bring us white toast, I tried, not as good as blinis. The three caviars and vodkas were tastefull and different, very interesting ! However, Caviar does not worth the $105, and I'll just stick to cheaper food : other fish eggs, crabs, shrimps and Gambas.

Place : 4/10 looks fake...
Ambiance : 7/10 good moment there even with the music.
Taste : 9/10 close to perfect
Service : 10/10 no comments !

The second reward was the picnic by the pool at our hotel, Monte Carlo.
We were so busy we didn't found a moment to use it until one day when the lunch wasn't planned and we decided to use it quickly then move to a poker tournament.
I'll be clear : the reward must be used in the pool. You have to request the picnic to a waitress, not at the bar, you cannot have your bottle closed, all 6 are open, and you cannot leave with the bucket, it's complicated to move with 6 open bottle of beer !
Choice is Nachos or Burger, after two days of sickness due to nachos @Twins peak and Margarita ville, we took the burger. The burger is nice and fesh, classic but huge in size. I offered beers around at the beach volley (only place with a bit of shadow) and we leaved with 4 beers.
Recommendation : take your time, take 1/2 day off to enjoy the pool.

Place : 8/10 the pool place is nice, maybe to small during summer.
Ambiance : 9/10 good music, water, ladies...
Taste : 7/10 burger is O.K., beer is too cold in the ice (European taste, beer should NOT be frozen !!!)
Service : 10/10 quick, friendly waitress, well organized service.

Thank you for posting about these two rewards. I've been considering both of them and its was GREAT to not only get a solid opinion of them but also a picture that makes it clear exactly that you are getting.

Now I want to strangle you because I'm already daydreaming about vegas badly enough but seeing that picture with you sitting in the sand with a burger in your lap and two buckes of beer on ice is KILLING me as I sit here goofing off at work!

I've felt the same for weeks reading this forum before going to Las Vegas, now it's your turn !
I'll share more picture of us drinking, playing poker and drinking some more if needed.

I think I would have the same "complaint" about those pics to. But good God I just looked again and something about those two buckets of white aluminum bottles on ice just looks so freaking good! And I don't even drink Bud usually.

If I were staying at NYNY I would defenitly buy this rewards just for access to the Monte Carlo pool. The one at NYNY is pretty rinky dink but the Monte Carlo one is like a mini Mandalay and being right next door to each other its a slam dunk!
